Pizza Boy (NARRY) -Fetus Writing- #Wattys2015

Chapter 10: Die In Your Arms

"You deliver to him every night?" It's like Harry and I, but they could actually have a relationship. "No, he just orders at least once a week. I don't even think he eats it, I think he lets his friends eat it. He's been training and working out for something thats coming up." Story explained to me that Liam has had a crush and orders pizza just to see her without coming off as creepy. Story thinks its funny. "What's he training for?"

"I don't know yet.

The rest of the night, Story and I switched off delivering Pizza when the calls came and only one person came in physically tonight. Story left at an hour ago, now I only have an hour until I close. I'm exhausted, and I hope I don't fall asleep behind the wheel.

Looking up at the clock, its closing time. Picking up the keys from the counter, I check and make sure I cleaned everything up and everythings away, the money from today is in the safe, and I have the money I made today. All is in order, all is okay. Except for a curly haired lad pressing his face to the window, cupping his hands around his eyes.

Surprised, I take my time grabbing my key's and putting on my jacket, picking my phone up from the counter as well. I open the doors, Harry breaking away from the glass and turning to me. "Hi." He smiles. I stick the key in the door and holds it closed as I turn it, tugging on the door just to double check. "Hi." I greet back, turning to face him. "I didn't know you delivered." Harry follows me as I start walking to my car. "Neither did I." I attempt to be funny. "Uhm, why are you here so late?" I ask, unlocking my car but I don't get in it. "Uhm, I wanted - Uh, nothing. Just, a visit." Harry stutters, changing his mind about something. I don't what to say, so I don't say anything. "See you tomorrow." Harry spins on his heel and walks to his car, stuffing his hands into his front pockets.

My confusion shows on my face, but into my car nonetheless, happy to be ditching the bus. After the car is turned on, I pull my safety belt into the buckle and check my rearview mirror I start to back out. Harry's car is still here, facing away from the shop. I wonder what he's thinking about, or why he's really here. It can't because he likes me, because he's straight. Louis and himself even confirmed it. Well, Harry didn't verbally confirm it but its obvious.

Just like Jay had promised, she let me take an hour off of work. I use that whole time to sleep until I have to get up, shower, and get dressed. That only takes ten minutes tops before I start my drive there. On the drive, my phone starts ringing from a call from Mum.

"Hi." I answer.

"Hey, you work next week, right? On Tuesday?"

"Yeah, why?"

"The funeral will be that day."

I flutter my eyes, looking down at a red light. "I won't go to work that day." Mumbles I.

"They said that they wanted you to give the speech."

I think about it.

"No. I'm not doing that." It's like I just suddenly forgot about Lux's death and now I'm back to being sad about it, getting emotional when I think too much about it, and just remembering her starting her death at my work and I didn't even know it.

"Niall, you two had a special bond, you made her happy, why won't you do it?"

"I'm not gonna do it." And I'm not gonna tell you why.

"Niall, please. If I do it, I'll just break down and cry. Greg, he and her weren't close. You two," She laughs through her breath. "You two were something." I can imagine Mum just imagining all the brother sister moments we had, probably being the most adorable, funniest thing to her.

"Okay, I'll do the speech. Just, please don't cry. You're gonna make me cry." I turn my car into the lot of the Pizza shop and park in the same spot I always park in. "Thank you, Niall." Mum laughs. "I'll tell them. I love you."

"Love you too, Mum." We hang up and I take a moment to compose myself and let the tears that were threatening to build die down.

Jay greets me with a smile and told me all about why she had to leave and what happened. Something about her friend, I wasn't really listening. I was too busy thinking about what I was going to say at the funeral.

I snap my head up when the door opens, Frank walking in. "Hey Niall." He greets, Sarge trotting right by his side. "Hey Frank, Sarge." I nod at Sarge. "So. Is your pizza actually good? Or are you a rubbish at cooking like your brother." Frank grins, leaning on the counter. I laugh half meaningful, but Frank doesn't notice. "Actually I would say I'm quite good. I'll make you one fresh, right now." I step backwards into the kitchen to prepare the dough. "And a meat one for Sarge." Paul smiles, moving to sit in the waiting chairs. "Lux's funeral is next week, did my Mum tell you that?" Niall yells from the kitchen so Frank can hear him, Frank yelling back. "Well now I know. I thought these took as long to plan as a wedding." I scuff as Frank's words, rolling my eyes. "Not even close."

On time, Harry walks into the shop just as I'm shaping the dough for Sarge's pizza. Harry smiles at me, his money already out in his hand. I only wipe my hands on my apron so I can get his pizza from the pre-made oven, doing the same routine as everyday. "So last night, sorry for just - running. I had to say something, but then something came to me and I couldn't do it then." Harry explains himself from last night. "You're fine." I shake my head, handing Harry's change to him just so he can give it back to me with his signature smirk, but this one a bit smaller. "Bye." Harry turns for the door. "Have a good day." Niall's hand had grazed Harry's, and a full graze this time. Like, full on hand graze. And Niall is already blushing.

"And who, was that?" Frank asks, noticing Niall's sudden behaviour. "Harry." Niall smiles at the name. "He your boyfriend?" Frank wiggles one of his eyebrows at Niall. "I wish." Niall replies with a grin, returning to the kitchen to keep making the pizza's for Sarge and Frank.
